Hi there .... On the odd occasion I have found it useful to have a dialup modem. The one I used to use (a USB modem) is a winmodem and very much in the unsupported category. I dug out a couple of old PCI modems and tried those. Both identify as supported 'Linmodems' using scanModem. I got the suggested package and installed hsfmodem from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/install.php
This looked promising and recognised the modems - BUT the builtin diagnostics tell me that the latest kernel I'm using doesn't support the required module. I take this to mean that it would mean compiling a custom kernel to make use of what is now obviously cobwebby software and a couple of fairly cobwebby bits of hardware. Is there an easy way of adding what I need? (Something silly like adding 'winmodem' to /etc/modules or would I be better binning the old PCI winmodems and spending £8 or £9 on a Linux-compatible USB modem?
